I recently built a two vessel no-sparge HERMS brew rig using a keggle as my BK and a 10 gallon rubbermaid beverage cooler as my MLT. I use a single march pump to constantly recirculate my wort through a 50 foot 1/2" SS coil (that is in my BK) during the mash. I have been very happy with this setup and have been able to consistently achieve 70-75% efficiency.
I am interested in starting to brew 10 gallon batches but the 10 gallon beverage cooler has limited my ability to do so. I was looking at upgrading to a 70 qt. Coleman Extreme for my MLT. Should this be big enough? I typically use this calc to determine the amount of water in need to mash in.

Most of my mashes are very thin at 2.5-3 qts/lb of grain in order to avoid sparging.
